Actually, the reason for the audience is that a lot of people (many far more advanced than I) were horrified that I would try such a dangerous stunt as taking a camera up onto the trampoline. You need to have your arms free for stability, and people were afraid I was going to end up shooting off the edge. I still can't do somersaults out of the harness; I just did a half twist to back drop.
Surely Tvindy you jest. Of course I know that Microsoft makes WMP for Mac :) My question was, gee, why? Everyone knows QuickTime is where it's at. But perhaps I am biased, given that they pay me.
That girl in the pink is completely slacking on her spotting duties. She spends half her time looking off into space and the other half looking at the other trampolines..

Bill, yes, QuickTime is definitely the best player. Unfortunately, Windows Movie Maker (which comes free with Service Pack 2) is a better video editor than QuickTime Pro. But it only spits out windows media files. I've started playing around with Nero, which creates MPEG files and has an even better video editor, so perhaps I'll stick with that.
Great video! I presume those shots of the sky were when you did a backwards somersault. Pretty impressive. No wonder you had an audience.

There's something just right about the trampoline.

That's definitely superior to the big round trampoline we have in the back yard.

Then you need to upgrade. You can get yellow ones for as low as $5000.

Girls on trampolines! But windows media video? WTF?
Posted by:Bill | May 29, 2005 at 10:54 PM
Bill, you can play windows media on a mac. Just download this.

ajb, she's not really spotting. I think she just enjoys standing on the edge of the trampoline. The spotters (in theory) are the ones on the ground.

Well, if you want a Mac, I'll give you 15% off, or other lovely deals on certain things. Then you can get your iMovie on.

Bill, thanks. I'll keep that in mind if I ever buy a mac. I just don't think I could ever learn to function without a PC.
